Intermittent motion horizontal cartoner, entirely made with balcony construction, designed around three basic concepts: versatility, ergonomics and maximum efficiency in a small footprint. Because of its characteristics it is the ideal solution for packaging Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Products. Due to its intermittent motion, it’s indicated for some specific product types.

• Balcony construction, as per GMP rules;
• Compact Dimensions;
• Maximum visibility for the whole process, thanks to completely transparent guards;
• Bucket feeding chain into which, by means of dedicated feeders, the products are placed automatically to be cartoned. One sensor checks product presence in the bucket and calls the correspondent carton and leaflet (if necessary), enabling the sensors of correct retrieval.

• All feeding groups are located in ergonomic position, in order to make the loading easy for the operator;
• Carton Pick-up and Positive Opening mechanism consists of a tilting arm combined with a mechanical Pre-Breaking device that places the erected carton directly into the carton transport belts, which guarantees optimal operations with the widest range of cartons and cardboard quality;
• Carton transport with Bottom timing belts centrally adjustable with hand wheels and digital indicators to suit carton Width, Length and Depth  (“A”,”B” and “C” dimension);
• Particularly low noise and Lubrication free thanks to advanced solutions adopted for product and carton conveyors
• Product arriving from the infeed chain is inserted with a pusher placed on the operator side;
• After the closing operation, lateral belts discharge the carton;
• Touch screen control panel, for operator interface and machine management;
• Self-diagnosis and help functions;
